14. Low-tech
Paper ballots, hand counted. At this point it's the only acceptable solution.

There may emerge a better way in the future, though I don't see how it could ever be truly secure. I'm open-minded enough to consider systems where the security has been completely worked out and every line of code is public, but it isn't here yet and may never be.

In the meantime, it's insane to use insecure systems. Verification and accuracy is way more important than speed (stupid-fast!).
